The Qbead

Put your hands on a (fake) qubit!

Introducing the Qbead

The qubit for your hands-on discovery of quantum phenomena.

We are a group of volunteers with a passion for teaching science, building beautiful things, and harnessing quantum phenomena to create the technology of tomorrow.

The Qbead comes with a “Field Guide” containing multiple educational and artistic activities written for students ages 12-212. In addition of the quantum science topics, the Qbead can also be programmed by anyone simply as a beautiful luminescent bluetooth-connected motion-sensing fashion accessory.

At the following link, you can see our teaching materials that are ready to be shared. We’ll be releasing more hands on activities and associated lessons over the coming months.

Behind-the-scenes pictures of the device and testing runs are also available.
